# CBS moves Watt to lead booth, threatens Romo’s $180mn future 2026-08-13T15:43:27+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet CBS has moved J.J. Watt into its premier broadcast team with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson, replacing Tony Romo who was arrested in July for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. CBS Sports president David Berson said there is no timetable for Romo's return and that the network is assessing the impact on its brand. Romo, who signed a 10-year, $180 million contract in 2020, still has four years left on the deal. He is due in a Wisconsin court on September 21. Watt joined CBS in 2023 as a studio analyst and moved to the No. 2 game team in 2025. His rapid rise to the lead booth gives CBS a credible long-term alternative. Ross Tucker has stepped into Watt's former spot alongside Ian Eagle and Evan Washburn for the new season. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: CBS, contract, JJ Watt, NFL, sports broadcasting, Tony Romo Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/cbs-moves-watt-to-lead-booth-threatens-romos-180mn-future/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
